The 2.95 releases included the compiler frontend but no java runtime. 
For that you need libgcj:
http://sources.redhat.com/java/download.html
Note however this release is unfortunately very out of date. It does
not have a complete Java 1.1 implementation and has significant
limitations. But this is the only release you can use with the 2.95.2
compiler.
When GCC 3.0 is released (soon, hopefully) it will include a much
improved gcj runtime, and a separate download will no longer be needed.
